Jeongmu Choi (최정무; Choe Jeongmu) is the founder of the drop-out gang, Jailbreak. A former student of Do-Eui Middle School, Jeongmu's actions were the catalyst of Gerard Jin forming his "Mad Hound" persona.
Personality[]
Jeongmu is defined by petty sadism and jealousy. Lacking any talent of his own, his sense of self-worth comes from ruining the hopes and aspirations of others. He also lies about performing great feats just to raise his reputation, such as lying about defeating Wolf Keum.
History[]
Jeongmu attended Do-Eui Middle School where he was a well-known bully that many students feared. In his final year of middle school, he was in the same class at Gerard Jin. Due to Gerard being the tallest student, Jeongmu targeted him. At first, Gerard put up with it but once Jeongmu messed with his music sheets, Gerard beat him up. Jeongmu tried to get revenge by getting his friend, Sanguk Yeom, to fight Gerard but Gerard easily won. Afterwards, Jeongmu dropped out.
Jeongmu was still angry at Gerard and beat up Jinu, who he had seen walking with Gerard. He also lied to some Manwol members about Gerard being the right hand man of the Union's leader trying to take over Do-Eui in order for them to beat him. Gerard won against the two Manwol members and then beat up Jeongmu. Jeongmu laughs and reveals that he had set Dorim Shopping Complex on fire. After Gerard ran off to save his studio, the two Manwol members realized Jeongmu had lied to them and gave him a sound thrashing.
He would not be seen until later when he hooks up with Lala Lee who convinced him to kidnap Julia Chae and trap her in a karaoke room with the gang in an act of petty revenge. Fortunately, Gray Yeon as well as Eugene Gale and Lily Nam spot Jeongmu’s gang pulling Julia into the karaoke place. Like everyone previously, Jeongmu and his underlings underestimate Gray, writing him off as a scrawny nerd, until Gray systematically beats the hell out of them. Once Eugene reveals that Gray is Eunjang’s famed White Mamba, Jeongmu panics as he had heard that the same guy was the one who defeated Wolf. When his underlings brag that their leader defeated Wolf (which was all a lie by Jeongmu and that in fact HE was the one who was unsurprisingly stomped by Wolf), Jeongmu tells them to shut up and tries to run to get backup. He would then get taken by surprise by the unexpected run-in with Gerard, who was in the adjacent room and had just finished beating up said backup. An angry Gerard kicks Jeongmu back into the room he ran out of and proceeded to beat the hell out of him for everything he’s done, not giving a damn about Jeongmu’s pettiness. When Jeongmu noticed Gerard’s expression after seeing Gray and Eugene, the thug smugly tries to get one over on Gerard by blabbing about Gerard’s past. However, Gray shuts Jeongmu up by breaking his jaw with a savage kick to his ugly face, telling him he doesn’t give a damn what he says and that his whiny voice is annoying to hear.
